ABSTRACT:
A hole in a leafcutter bee nest is stripped by pushing a thin tube into the hole to separate larvae in the hole from the surrounding nest material. An ejector, for example a rod sliding in the tube, is used to eject the separated larvae and cocoons. The method is carried out using an apparatus with foot guides for engaging a nesting block and aligning the tubes with a row of holes in the block, and a sequential drive. The drive first pushes the tubes through the block then drives the rods through the tubes. The tubes and rods are then withdrawn. The foot guide is subsequently lifted out of engagement with the nesting block and the block is indexed one hole forwards for stripping of the next row of holes.
